In real life, we can experience reverb times from ap- proximately 0 seconds (outdoors or in anechoic cham- bers) to around 10 to 12 seconds. In special reverb chambers, the time may exceed 20 seconds. Dynaudio Professional AIR reference manual – 2014-09-28... -
Page 111: Sabine's Formula
The low frequencies are the hardest to control. This is why the reverberation time against frequency in practice may look like this: Dynaudio Professional AIR reference manual – 2014-09-28... -
Page 112: Absorbers
Fig. 61: Membrane absorbers Resonance absorbers Resonance absorbers include slit panels, perforated plates, Helmholtz resonators etc. These absorbers are normally used for midrange frequencies. The absorp- tion is medium to high. Fig. 63: Porous absorbers Dynaudio Professional AIR reference manual – 2014-09-28... -
Page 113: Diffusors
Absorption or diffusion? Fig. 64: Absorption versus diffusion A special technique developed by Manfred Schroed- er is very capable in making a smooth and controlled diffusion. These “Schroeder Diffusors” are available as prefab modules. Dynaudio Professional AIR reference manual – 2014-09-28... -
Page 114: Standing Waves
This phenomenon is called standing waves. Actually, across the room. the sound wave is not “standing”. But it is experienced as that because the sound pressure maxima and mini- ma are located in fixed places in the room. Dynaudio Professional AIR reference manual – 2014-09-28... - Page 115 (sometimes -40 dB compared to the maximum). If the room’s length, width and even height are identical, Fig. 73: π/2 radiation obtaining an even sound distribution can be very hard. Dynaudio Professional AIR reference manual – 2014-09-28...

500 Hz, 1.5 kHz, 2.5 kHz etc., and the two signals’ levels double (+6 dB) at low frequencies with a full wavelength’s delay at 1 kHz, 2 kHz, 3 kHz etc. Dynaudio Professional AIR reference manual – 2014-09-28... - Page 117 Half of the period is 0.5 milliseconds. If a time delay of precisely 0.5 millisecond occurs, this will result in cancellation not only at 1 kHz, but also at 2 kHz, 3 kHz, 4 kHz etc. Dynaudio Professional AIR reference manual – 2014-09-28...

Page 118: Rear Wall Cancellation
Fig. 78: A frequency (F) that has a wavelength of four times the distance to the rear wall is canceled because of the oppositely phased reflection. Dynaudio Professional AIR reference manual – 2014-09-28... -

Reproduc- ing a frequency of 100 Hz can result in the generation of an audible frequency component at 300 Hz, which presents directional information to the human hearing system. Dynaudio Professional AIR reference manual – 2014-09-28... -

– the subwoofer – has to be placed in a “safe” position. The crossover frequency can be set to a value just above the problematic frequency range. Fig. 79: Basic bass management setup Dynaudio Professional AIR reference manual – 2014-09-28... -

In mu- sic production and mixing, there is usually no need for using this channel (unless you are recording the 1812 Overture with all these cannons shots…). Dynaudio Professional AIR reference manual – 2014-09-28... -

15/340 sec, which equals 0,044 seconds or 44 milliseconds. To this value, 15 milliseconds are added. Accordingly, the surround signal has to be delayed 59 milliseconds (or the closest possible value). Dynaudio Professional AIR reference manual – 2014-09-28... -

1 to 3 meters. The near field in front of the due to its “unsettled” character, which makes it difficult monitors can be regarded as a direct field. to measure at low frequencies. Dynaudio Professional AIR reference manual – 2014-09-28... - Page 124 (for example main floor and balcony), measurements should be made in at least four locations in each area. Before these measurements can be made, the sys- tem’s frequency response must also be in order. Dynaudio Professional AIR reference manual – 2014-09-28...
